According to Texas law there isn't a time frame, but 3 conditions you need to meet and there is a form you can file with the county clerk office in your area. The first test you have to meet is that you have agreed to be married. Second you must have told others you are "husband and wife" Introducing someone as a wife or husband will meet this condition. The third is that you have lived together as husband and wife. This in Texas makes a common law marriage.
